So helpful

I am curious as to what makes RowCal special considering how they managed my community. They charged us over $8,000 for project coordination and nobody knows what it was we got for that money. I wouldn't think that they would treat their employee's much better than they do the communities they manage but I can only speak for my community. Here what others are saying: https://lnkd.in/gSFM62dC You can't make this stuff up. One reply I found from Rowcal I found particularly amusing was their social media policy which I find bothersome coming from an industry that customer service is priority. "We understand your frustration, ***** and assure you we take all resident feedback seriously. However, it's important to clarify our social media policy. While we encourage open communication, we do not allow non-productive, negative comments that do not offer specific details about an issue that can be addressed. This allows us to focus on remedying genuine concerns and keeps our social media pages a positive space for all residents." I do not believe RowCal understand this person's frustration or cares about it for that matter. Most people do not get online and complain unless they have a good reason to. By the way RowCal people have the right to speak out about how poorly they are treated by your company. RowCal does not have any right to hide it from people and turn homeowners into the problem when in reality, they are the problem.

Our dream is to extend our reach and impact through a digital sanctuary that reflects our mission and values. This is where we would like your help. We wish to secure the domain Soulhaven.org to establish a dedicated online home for our non-profit endeavors. Unfortunately, our attempts to acquire this domain through conventional means have not been successful. Despite our best efforts through GoDaddy’s brokering service, we’ve been unable to establish contact with the current holder, who is associated with Sonic ISP from an earlier period of domain hosting. This domain holds immense potential for union with our existing site, Soulhaven.com. It represents a significant step forward in uniting our holistic lifestyles business with our non-profit mission under the Soulhaven banner. We believe in the power of community and the incredible network of professionals on LinkedIn. If anyone has insights, connections, or advice on how we might reach out to the owner of Soulhaven.org or if there are alternative strategies we should consider, your guidance would be invaluable. Moreover, should the current holder see this message, we are open to discussing options that could benefit both parties, including a tax-deductible donation of the domain to Soulhaven Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization. Together, we can make Soulhaven.org a reality, creating a space that fosters healing, growth, and holistic living for all. Thank you for any help, advice, or share you can offer to help us in this mission. Our hearts and hopes are aligned toward making a positive change, and with your help, we can make a significant stride toward that dream.

Over the past year, I’ve been asked at least a dozen times by different nonprofit executives what they can do partner with more businesses. It’s not surprising that they are looking for ways to diversify and grow their fundraising sources. Coincidentally, Eric Moraczewski invited me to join him on #The5Podcast to all about #CorporateGiving – the role corporate giving plays in a nonprofit’s development strategy, the different models of corporate giving, and who are the different decision makers within companies. We also talk about sponsorships, grants, volunteer projects, cause marketing campaigns, and CSR partnerships. Take a moment to listen to the episode and let me know what you think. And if you have any other tips on how nonprofits should approach corporate giving, please leave a comment. https://lnkd.in/g2HX23C9 Finally, if you are looking to launch or grow the corporate fundraising program at your nonprofit or community foundation, please reach out to our team at DRiWaterstone. We can help you recruit and hire an experienced fundraiser who understands how to communicate with corporate leaders and how your organization can position itself to pursue win-win corporate partnerships.

Looking back, one decision would have saved me years. That is: Choosing the right people to be around. I know it’s cliché advice, but stick with me. You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. And if those people are: 👉🏻 Lazy 👉🏻 Unmotivated 👉🏻 Lack ambition... …then you’ll end up just the same. Whether it’s in business, the gym, or life in general: It’s key to have people around you who inspire you to level up. For me, that’s meant joining groups, finding mentors, and distancing myself from old friends who were still partying every weekend. And if I have any regrets, it’s that I didn’t take the leap sooner. So if you’re on the fence about taking that next step, let this be your reminder: Don’t wait. Surround yourself with people who’ll lift you up. It’ll make all the difference. P.S. I recently attended PropEvents, which raised 13K+ for The Genie's Wish. It is a great way to surround yourself with likeminded individuals in the Property Industry hosted by Holland & Holland 👏

Ever heard of the "Starfish Story"? 🌟I heard it first when our family decided to adopt a teenager from Eastern Europe - and in that context, it still gets me choked up thinking about it. It goes something like this: A man walks along a beach, filled with thousands of stranded starfish after a storm. As he throws one back into the ocean, someone asks him, "Why bother? You can't save them all." He responds by throwing another one into the sea and says, "I made a difference for that one." Now, think about it: what if we all took that approach in our lives and work? It's a powerful idea, and it ties perfectly into our next Straight Path principle. Principle #14: We give back – Straight Path will never dictate how we give back. However, a Straight Path person invests in others. Be it SQL community sharing, non-profit work, ministry work, etc. We find the time to help others. We invest in people and our world. -- Sure, I'm running a company. Sure, we have a bottom line. But people attracted to the culture, values, and principles want to give back. The team wants to support giving back. And everyone does to a degree. We want to be there when someone wants to throw a starfish back to the sea - whatever that starfish is to them. I don't ever want to retire as I see things now - I couldn't leave the team, culture, and group we have - but if this principle ever went away, I'd be out. How do you encourage your team to give back? How do you support it? What's your starfish story? #GivingBack
